.
Could there be a similarity between the religiosity of the Fundamentalist Shiis that cling so tightly to radical Sharia and our problems with scandals and corruption such as is uncovered in the Oral Roberts University thread here?
.
It almost looks as though our rush to judgment regarding such "sins" as dancing, premarital sex, and social drinking, combined with the idea that ALL sins are equally worthy of eternal damnation in the eyes of God leads us to some serious problem thinking in our otherwise advanced civilization.
.
When premarital sex is as reprehensible as murder and other crimes our secular society adjudicates, there is a heavy blanket of guilt put on the person who even thinks about "going all the way" in the heat of adolescent passions.
